8316 Stone Ave N, # 2, Seattle, WA 98103

This private and NW modern garden cottage is located just 5 blocks from Seattle's beloved Green Lake and conveniently located for public transit and a 15-20 minute commute to nearby University of Washington and downtown tech companies. It is a quiet, private retreat designed for comfort, ease, and a warm Northwest feel. Although this is our first listing on this site, we've been Superhosts for over two years on the "other platform," with only 5-star ratings on our main house. We bring the same attention to detail, cleanliness, responsiveness, and guest care into this space - just with even more intention, knowing mid-term renters rely on their home to support real life, not vacation. The cottage has its own private entrance, walkway, and generous backyard garden deck that is covered by an all-season louvered pergola roof and nestled in a garden bordered by privacy panels and a slatted wood arbor that creates a truly separate outdoor space. We even relocated the front door to the side of the building so your entry doesn't face our main house. Your routines, quiet time, and comings and goings are fully your own. At 550 square feet, it's intentionally compact, but the high ceilings, skylight, thoughtful layout, and generous storage make it feel much larger - something our current renter has mentioned more than once. Inside, the skylight brings natural light into the living area, highlighting the live-edge countertop and dining table - Northwest touches that make the space feel warm and grounded. The living room includes comfortable leather seating, a built-in bookshelf wall, surround sound, a large smart TV, and heated tile floors that keep the space cozy year-round. The kitchen is equipped with premium European appliances and everything needed for real cooking. For coffee and tea drinkers, we provide a Nespresso machine, Keurig, French press, and electric kettle, along with starter pods, capsules, and tea. The bedroom features a king bed with hotel-quality linens. The bathroom was fully updated in April with a herringbone tile shower, rain-shower head and adjustable wand, solid wood vanity, heated towel rack, and heated tile floors. It's designed to feel clean, modern, and relaxing - a small retreat in the city. Gigabit WiFi, a dedicated workspace, in-unit laundry, mini-split heating and cooling. The space is fully furnished, well-equipped, and ready for comfortable long-term living. If you need professional cleaning services during a long-term rental, we can arrange it for you, starting at $150 for a standard clean. We live in the main house, but we prioritize your autonomy and privacy. We're nearby if you need anything - and invisible when you don't. Our goal is simple: to offer a clean, secure, well-equipped home that feels like a great find for the rate, and a place you'll genuinely enjoy living in while you're here. 6-Month minimum lease with security deposit, with first month rent due at signing.
